I looked into it and it was a side effect that had only been seen in rats. And I recall this was because rats already have a higher level of some sort of hormone that makes that more likely. I don’t remember the exact ins and outs, but I figured my weight was putting me at more health risks than a very rare potential risk from a treatment that could help me fix them all.
You are where I was this time last year!! I was so excited to start. And I'm down 3 1/2 stone now.
I ordered it last week so will take delivery tomorrow (so I have no actual experience!) but it’s interesting because from what other posters have been saying on here I had envisaged that you don’t really expect much in the way of weight loss in the first month and that it takes a while to ‘kick in’ as such. I was thinking that weight loss starts for real once you hit the higher dose after 4-6 weeks or more.
Wow, that is shocking advice from Asda. Here’s all the possible side effects and suicide and depression is definitely listed.No that doesn’t sound daft at all, thank you for replying!
I messaged Asda Online Doctor and they said that it is not known to affect mood so I should keep on taking it… I’m not convinced so I’m going to take everyone’s advice here and put on my big girl’s pants and speak to my GP.
Thank you everyone for being so kind here

My plan is to carry on with my new habits ( lots of water, no snacking, small healthy meals) but I think that’s probably easier for someone like me who only had a stone to lose because I suppose my food ‘issues’ weren’t that disordered in the first place? (I don’t mean that to sound like I’m a patronising twat to anyone seriously overweight 🫤)
You won’t have to worry about that. I haven’t had a shit in days
I didn’t realise that one of the side effects was going off alcohol! Does this happen to everyone? I used to be a bad binge drinker always going for dinner with my friends and getting on the wine then ending up out out. Since ive been on this ive been for dinner 3 times and to a party once and had no desire to drink much each time and been home by like10/11 (at night not in the morning which it usually would be ha)
I can notice I’m not as hungry and Im serving myself much smaller portions 
I probably have struggled a little with fatigue and nausea but tbh its been worth it. I never imagined been back to a size I'm happy with. Age had hit big time and I had piled on 3 stone. I cringed when I had to be out socially meeting people. Not that anyone gave a sh*t about my weight size Im sure but I just wasn't comfortable in my own skin. I was probably also doing super damage to my own health as the fat was all in my middle and I had relatively good arms/legs. I was also a slow looser but 10 months in Im a different woman now. Really only posting this for the people dissappointed with low numbers. Low numbers over a number of weeks add up. Its been a costly investment in myself too but probably countered a little in how my diet and consumption has changed.Sorry to hear this, I must admit I thought I would have lost a bit more than I have, it's very up and down I have lost about 4lb since I started it in the middle of pen 2
Sorry I meant 1.2 not 1.6 I get a bit mixed up with the dosesI only had 1.2 today and I felt much better, nausea has gone, and it is still suppressing my appetite, I do think some people stay on the lower doses for longer than the recommended time, give it a try, think you just have to find a balance. When I go up I might just go up a couple of clicks and see how I get on

Well done that is a brilliant result, did you struggle at first with feeling sick and if so how long did it last ?
I’ve only just filled my first after 7+ months and I’m going to wait until I’ve finished to get rid of 2 at the same time. But my local council collect, I just have to arrange a (free) medical waste collection on their website.
